I have been trying to get up the nerve to wear lipstick, but I'm a wimp so I settled on lip stain. I got a sample of Stainiac in one of my birchboxes, and as the tiny tube emptied I started to get sad. Finally, the little tube ran out and I knew this needed to be part of my regular beauty bag.

This is one pretty big sample of CARGO lip gloss. I like the color, but it is pretty thick and sticky. I'll definitely use the whole sample, but I doubt I'll purchase a full size tube.

See cute color! I just wish it wasn't so sticky!

This is the first time I've used the Origins toner, and it's a toner. I haven't noticed anything special about it.

I really like the CoTZ sunscreen. It's a brown color, but as you rub it in it disappears. It has a nice matte finish which is rare with most of the sunscreen products I've used. I think this is definitely on my pool wish list. I also did like to Coola sunscreen though, so now I have to decide. Who knew I could love a sunscreen?!

I was SO excited to get these sets of Bamboo cutlery. I plan on taking them to work in my lunch box. They are just too cute to leave at home!

Hello! I'm Natalie. I write about my life with Christopher, my husband of almost a decade, and our dog Lucy. We're figuring out home ownership in our first house and have a list of DIY projects longer than our driveway. I work in higher education and Christopher works with software. I love my super close, super silly family, books, cooking, crafting, taking blurry pictures (I'm working on that), rain storms, and traveling. Thanks for being part of our adventure!
